Anthropological Abstracts (AA) is a reference journal published once a
year in print, but also under www.anthropology-online.de and announces -
in English language - most publications in the field of cultural/social
anthropology published in the German language area (Austria, Germany,
Switzerland). Since many of these publications have been written in
German, and most German publications are not included in the major English
language abstracting services, Anthropological Abstracts offers a
convenient source of information for anthropologists and social scientists
in general who do not read German, to become aware of anthropological
research and publications in German-speaking countries. Included are
journal articles, monographs, anthologies, exhibition catalogs, yearbooks,
etc. Most abstracts are authored by the editor, others are specified
accordingly. This journal is edited by Ulrich Oberdiek since 1993
(formerly: Abstracts in German Anthropology; since 2002: Anthropological
Abstracts).
